Global Business Academy
Empowering Future Global Leaders
In the Global Classroom
Business plans, marketing strategies, start-ups, international trading, creating new products, corporate social responsibility, invention patents and launching global organizations, are all concepts that might seem foreign to some, but for the High School Inc. Global Business Academy, it’s everyday lingo.
Academy students also learn critical “soft skills” and are ready to take on the business world with confidence and professionalism. These skills include public speaking, overall business etiquette, effective hand-shaking, professional eye contact, dressing for success, and more. Participants leave this Academy with a thorough understanding of the global business industry, including an entrepreneurial mindset by learning how to start a successful company from the ground up on their own.
This Academy in particular is 1 of 17 Lighthouse Academies and 1 of 340 California Partnership Academies (CPA).
Outside of the Classroom
Behind the scenes, yes please! In addition to time spent in the creative classroom, New Media Academy students have a VIP backstage pass to visit businesses that rely heavily on new media technologies success. These rare behind the “green screen” experiences offer exposure to a variety of future career options within the field, often sparking new interests and confirming students’ college and career goals.
The main headline feature outside of the classroom is the opportunity for students to hone in on their craft and have the community view their work. Through local and state competitions, new media participants are able to reveal their innovative techniques and creativity. In addition, students showcase their skills providing video and photography to local businesses and organizations.
